First off no pics until tomorrow when it is light out but i'd rather type out the post since i just got out.

I've pulled off the back of my field many times to mess around or get something out of the back i don't want to carry. The problem here is the massive amount of rain i received last night that i forgot about. I pulled through once, stopped, and got out to retrieve the section of fence my buddy needed. Being semi brain dead i decided to pull off again and go left and back up to the front just for fun.

Bad stuff happened shortly after that decision. I pulled off and had to go uphill and dug in. By the time i got it in 4 low i could back out of the hole i created but i then could only back into the swampy spot. I sank like the Titanic only faster with less lives lost. I was beyond frame deep, the axles disappeared.

The last resort was my buddies towing company because there was no way i was stretching out that much cable. The good thing being i was stuck in my own field i decided to call my buddy with the old F150 and no fear. It's lifted with lockers and 38's, never seen it unable to climb out of mud. He pulled down and hooked up to the Ex which sunk him like a brick three separate times but once he unhooked he could always pull out of the huge holes and reposition. Third time was the charm and i got to solid ground and powered up and around to get on solid ground.

I can't wait until my 35's go on along with the additional lift. I could have got out all by myself if i would have had more lift and bigger tires. I had to use my ice scraper to clean the back window and mud falling from thirty or so feet in the air makes a funny sound when it lands on the roof.

Here's what my truck looked like today.

Your rear hatch looks awesome. Haha
 






I'm right outside of Canton. I've been in much worse mud deep wise but it was always kind of soupy so as long as you kept the power down you'd eventually get out. Once you dig into my field the mud is so thick it just pulls you deeper because the tires clog and the only progress you can make is down.

Thankfully i had an ice scraper so i could at least see out the back window.

I manage car washes for a friend of mine and i am parked at one of my washes in those pictures. Two trips through the automatic and 10 minutes in the self serve bay and it was once again clean, more or less. The F150 is still muddy because we used it again that weekend to get another buddy out of a bad spot.
 






kind of like mine when i got stuck but i was there a good 14 hours also getting 3 other trucks stuck that tried to get me out lol

The clean spot is from the powerwasher cleaning the mirror off so i could see to switch lanes on the way home. This was after pulling a buddies 550 dump out of a ditch on an icy day. It was 5 below when i took this picture.
